BLOCK Snowman Tutorial

I am LOVING making things with blocks right now. It really is a quick project if a few power tools are involved. So let's take a step back from Valentine's Day and just enjoy WINTER! I made this adorable snowman in one afternoon taking breaks as paint dried...

Supplies

Wood {I used 2x6 and 2x4. Cut them into approx. 6x6, 5x5 and 3.5x3.5}

Sander or sandpaper

White acrylic paint

Mod Podge

Clear sparkle glitter

Paint pens {black and orange}

Hot glue or wood glue

Ribbon or fabric for scarf

Let's get crafty!

Cut your wood blocks into your desired sizes. Stack them up and see how you like them, then sand the edges to smooth.

Paint each side white and let dry.

Draw on desired eyes and nose with paint pens.

Spread mod podge over the dried white paint {avoiding the eyes and nose} and immediately sprinkle with clear sparkle glitter to give your snowman some true BLING! Allow that to dry

Using hot glue or wood glue, glue the three pieces together, add your ribbon scarf around the neck and POOF, you've got yourself an adorable winter snowman to bring cheer to your house.
